"You're awake, Lyse." Jasper's voice was gentle and coy. She could practically get pregnant with that voice in her ear.
Yet, she felt oddly secure.
"I'm not tired." Alyssa got up and went to the balcony. She looked up at the moon in the warm evening breeze.
"Are you finding it hard to sleep after leaving me? No one is there to cuddle with you." Jasper chuckled.
"Pfft, of course not! A man does not consume my everything." Alyssa's face was burning up, but she was stubborn with her words.
"But Lyse, you are my everything."
Her heart beat wildly at Jasper's sudden declaration of affection. She felt her body was burning up and was about to reach boiling point.
She missed him so much.
She had been fine without the call. Now that she had heard his voice, she longed for him endlessly.
"What did you do today?" She switched the topic.
"Apart from breathing, every second was dedicated to thinking about you."
"Jasper, it's fine to sweet talk. But too much of it is like having too much meat to eat. It gets too queasy."
Jasper listened to her and talked about something serious. "I have something I haven't told you. The men I sent to Rolanda came back with news today."
"Rolanda … Are you trying to find the maid that Sophia ordered to switch your mother's medication for depression?" Alyssa was as quickwitted as a fox. She immediately connected the dots.
"Yes, I've always wanted to search for her. However, she's elusive and cautious. She no longer resides in the city area of Rolanda and has adopted a new name. The restaurant she operated shut down six months ago. There are rumors suggesting that her husband accumulated substantial gambling debts, and the restaurant was liquidated to settle those debts.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
